Although there is some debate over whether or not Baxter is really dead (apparantly, there is little to no way to ID a mouse and when I saw him quickly dart away in the garage that night, I didn't happen to get a mouseprint or mug shot. All mice pretty much look the same). But a mouse has been found, nonetheless. Unfortunately, it was not found by me. The cats like to hide toys under the stove, but then can't get them out. So, Jeni went to help Austin get a toy out from under the stove, went to grab the toy mouse only to discover in the nic of time that it was not a toy mouse she was reaching for. It took an hour of watching 'Reba' reruns to get her calmed down after that one. Cause of death: Unknown. I did an autopsy, but it appeared to be of natural causes. Possibly fear? Heat? I did find some onion peels and a green bean under there as well, maybe one of those are poisonous to mice.
So for those of you who have been on the edge of your seat wondering how this whole rat race would end, it appears that once again, humans have triumphed over mice.
